A year ago, I decided to sell one of my cars and switch to an e-bike. While I knew it was a positive step for the environment, I initially thought giving up my car was something only the most dedicated environmentalists or adventurous souls would do. Living in Colorado, I imagined the e-bike would mean enduring freezing winters and sweltering summers. I believed it was the right choice, but I didn’t expect it to be enjoyable.
I couldn’t have been more wrong. Riding my e-bike to work turned out to be not just bearable but completely captivating. Before selling my car, my biggest concern was the cold winter months. However, I quickly realized the truth in the saying, “There’s no bad weather, only bad clothing.” With gloves, warm socks, and a ski jacket, I rarely felt too cold. In fact, I often felt warmer and more energized after my ride.
Like many potential cyclists, I also worried about arriving at the office sweaty during the hotter months. But the e-bike’s pedal-assist mode solved this problem. Even on days when the temperature reached 35 degrees Celsius, I didn’t break a sweat. To be honest, sometimes I didn’t even pedal—I simply switched to pedal-assist mode, relaxed, and enjoyed the journey.
One memorable day, shortly after selling my car, I hopped on my bike after a stressful day at work and rode home along a street lined with autumn leaves. For the first time, I felt deeply connected to the natural environment around me, something I had never experienced while driving in a car. This newfound appreciation for the beauty of my surroundings became one of the most delightful aspects of riding my e-bike.
Of course, e-bikes aren’t a perfect replacement for cars in every situation. In a country where sprawling suburbs, shopping malls, and unprotected bike lanes are common, it’s unrealistic to expect e-bikes to replace cars entirely, just as the Model T replaced horses. However, as an individual, using an e-bike for short trips can save money, reduce carbon emissions, and improve both physical and mental health.
24. What did the author originally think of letting go of his car
A. Healthy. B. Fun. C. Tough. D. Terrifying.
25.What does the underlined word “captivating” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Fascinating. B. Challenging. C. Secure. D. Troublesome.
26.What did the author like best about the ride
A. Relaxing in the pedal-assist mode. B. Enjoying the beauty along the road.
C. Hurrying home after a stressful day. D. Being surrounded by metal and glass.
27.What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. E-bikes will replace cars eventually.
B. It is advisable to make long trips on e-bikes.
C. Cyclists should do more to protect themselves.
D. E-bikes are economical and environmentally friendly.

Adults are often amazed by how well they remember things they learned as children but haven’t practiced since. For instance, a person who hasn’t swum in years can still swim proficiently when they return to the water. Similarly, someone can ride a bicycle effortlessly after decades of not doing so. A parent can recall and teach their child the poem “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” or stories like “Cinderella” and “Goldilocks and the Three Bears,” even if they haven’t thought about them in years.
One explanation for this phenomenon is the law of overlearning, which suggests that once we learn something, additional practice extends the duration we preserve it. During childhood, we often continue practicing skills like swimming, cycling, and playing sports long after mastering them. We repeatedly hear and recite poems and stories, not just learning them but overlearning them.
The multiplication tables(乘法表) are an exception to the general rule that we quickly forget what we learn in school. They are another example of overlearning in childhood.
The law of overlearning also explains why cramming(死記硬背) for exams, though it may help pass a test, is not an effective way to learn a subject. While cramming might allow a student to perform well on an exam, they are likely to forget most of the material soon after. In contrast, a little overlearning is essential for long-term memory and future development.
What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1
A. Stories for children are easy to remember.
B. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.
C. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.
D. People remember well what they learned in childhood.
How does the author explain the law of overlearning
By using examples. B. By making a comparison.
C. By presenting research findings. D. By setting down general rules.
30. what is being able to use multiplication tables according to the author
A. A special case of cramming. B. A result of overlearning.
C. A skill to deal with math problems. D. A basic step to advanced studies.
31. What is the author’s opinion on cramming
A. It’s helpful only in a limited way.
B. It leads to failure in college exams.
C. It’s possible to result in poor memory.
D. It increases students’ learning interest.

Bala Murugan, an Indian computer scientist, has created a small drone powered by AI to assist farmers in identifying diseases in their trees. This tinyML device, which operates without Internet connectivity, can accurately detect diseased leaves, reducing the need for excessive pesticide use. TinyML, a low-cost and low-power AI technology, is increasingly being adopted in resource-limited regions like the Global South.
Murugan’s innovation is part of a growing trend in tinyML, which provides specialized capabilities and is transformative for specific tasks. Unlike large language models, tinyML devices are modest in scope but highly effective in applications such as agriculture, healthcare, and environmental monitoring. For example, Jo o Yamashita, an electronics engineer at UNIFEI in Brazil, uses tinyML to detect diseases in coffee plants, while Rosdiadee Nordin in Malaysia employs it to monitor river pollution.
The rise of tinyML is a response to the high costs and environmental impact of large AI models, which require significant resources. TinyML models use less data and can run on microcontroller chips, making them affordable and accessible. Much of the software, hardware, and data sets for tinyML are open source, allowing researchers to adapt and improve them. As microcontrollers evolve, tinyML devices are becoming more powerful. They can operate for weeks on low-power batteries and do not require Internet connectivity, making them ideal for remote areas. Despite their limited capabilities, tinyML has the potential to make AI ubiquitous, tackling larger tasks when multiple devices work together. Marcelo Jose Rovai, a data scientist, believes tinyML is the future, especially for developing countries.
TinyML represents a shift towards more sustainable and accessible AI solutions, particularly beneficial for the Global South, where it is being used to address local challenges in agriculture, health, and the environment. As tinyML devices become more advanced and widespread, they hold the potential to bring AI to every corner of the world. As Yamashita puts it, “TinyML will enable AI to, in fact, go everywhere.”
What is the main function of the tinyML device designed by Murugan
A. To upgrade and equip AI. B. To provide Internet connection.
C. To find illness on plants’ leaves. D. To improve agricultural production.
33. Why are Jo o Yamashita and Rosdiadee Nordin mentioned in paragraph 2
A. To prove various applications of tinyML. B. To assist farmers with coffee plant diseases.
C. To recommend using tinyML in river pollution. D. To compare tinyML and large language models.
34. What can be inferred about tinyML from paragraph 3
A. It is by no means cost-effective. B. It requires much energy consumption.
C. It is more powerful than microcontrollers. D. It is very convenient in resource-poor areas.
35. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A. Drones-The Crucial Role in Global Economic Growth.
B. TinyML-A New Era of Sustainable and Accessible AI use.
C. Large AI Models-The Development Factor for Urban Areas.
D. Internet Connectivity-The Essential Part in Modern Farming.

閱讀下面短文，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
It is natural to compare ourselves to others and to get caught in a mental comparison loop(循環), yet this seldom brings any benefit. You may have heard the expression, “ 36 .” To me, this rings true because I have found it nearly impossible to compare myself to others and feel satisfied at the same time.
Comparison not only robs us of happiness but also fuels self-criticism and a lack of self-acceptance.
37 . “I am not as successful, competent, or attractive as they are.” “Why don’t I have what they have ” We use comparison as a way to criticize ourselves: “What’s wrong with me I must be a failure.” This hinders self-acceptance.
We often tell ourselves we are acceptable only if we meet certain standards, and we evaluate how we measure up by looking at others. The tendency is to conclude that we are not measuring up, especially if we have a low sense of self-worth. 38 . We don’t just ask ourselves, “What’s wrong with me ” We worry about what others will think: “What’s wrong with them ” The looming sense of possible rejection creates uneasiness and anxiety.
39 . It tells us that if we meet certain expectations—lose weight, get a promotion, or buy a new house—we will feel better, calmer, and more self-assured, and we will stop comparing ourselves. This may be temporarily true, but comparison is an internal process that is ultimately based on our thoughts and sense of self, not external circumstances. We can always find something else to compare, another expectation we tell ourselves we are not meeting. 40 . Gradually, comparison can destroy our awareness of personal values.
To stop comparing ourselves to others, we must recognize that the comparison game is unwinnable and stop playing.
Comparison is the thief of joy.
Comparison can even be misleading.
Life without comparison is incomplete.
We are focused on others and not on what is meaningful to us.
Typically, comparison will lead to feeling inadequate or inferior(自卑).
Shift from being guided by comparison to being guided by values.
And we fear that we are going to be judged by our perceived（感覺到的） failures.

That afternoon, Anay was very happy as he was going to his hometown after being away for about a year. He had to board the train scheduled to leave at 7 pm, so he planned to leave his office at 5 pm. However, he, being on a long leave, had to complete a lot of pending (待定的) tasks in the office, which went well beyond 5 pm. By the time he left for the railway station, it was already 6 pm. In case of missing the train, Ana y immediately boarded a rickshaw (人力三輪車). That was when he encountered Jimmy.
“Will you please drive as fast as you can to the railway station I have to catch the train that leaves in an hour,” Anay asked. “Don’ worry, sir. We’ll be there on time.” Jimmy’s words calmed him. After that, they talked. “... Do you know sir, according to the law, Rs.10 (10盧比) should be charged for every piece of luggage going over the size of 60cm x 40cm or 14kg ” Anay looked at his luggage—two big bags and a small computer bag, with his computer in it. That meant he would have to pay Rs.20 extra.
Jimmy continued, “But sir, I’ll never charge for luggage. In this way, people will remember me and contact me when they need a rickshaw.” Anay now realized that this young man was not a regular rickshaw driver. Out of curiosity, he asked, “What’s your educational background ” “A Bachelor’s degree in commerce (商務學士學位),” Jimmy replied. Anay was visibly shocked. Jimmy added, “Sir, I don’t feel ashamed of my job. I think it’s better that I’ve learned a great deal than none at all. After graduation, I haven’t found a suitable job. To feed myself, I landed this job, but after work, I take an evening course to improve knowledge of my major in case there’s any opportunity.” Anay related to Jimmy and couldn’t help thinking about his early job-seeking experiences.
Soon, they reached the destination. Anay took out a 100-rupee note from his wallet, handed it to Jimmy and walked away hurriedly, carrying his two big bags.
續寫詞數應為150左右；
However, as Anay was entering the station, he found Jimmy running to him with a small bag. A month later, Anay sent a message to Jimmy, asking him to take an interview.

Good morning everyone!
As the weekend approaches, have you ever felt Monday comes too soon while you’ve accomplished nothing Currently, many students either cram all homework into Sunday night or waste precious time mindlessly scrolling phones. Both patterns leave us exhausted and unfulfilled.
To transform your weekends, try these solutions. First, adopt the 50-30-20 rule. Spend 50% time on studies, 30% on hobbies, and 20% socializing. This ensures a balance between productivity and relaxation. Second, practice “power recharging”. A 90-minute nap or outdoor activity boosts energy more effectively than 5-hour video gaming, which helps restore energy, sharpen focus and spark creativity. Last, review and plan on Sunday nights. Spend just 15 minutes reviewing what you’ve accomplished and planning for the coming week. This simple habit can significantly reduce Monday morning stress. Remember, weekends are not just for catching up, but for charging up! Let’s start this Friday!

However, as Anay was entering the station, he saw Jimmy running towards him with a small bag. Jimmy’s face was flushed from running. “Sir, your computer bag!” he shouted. Anay froze, realizing he had left behind all his work files and personal documents in that bag. “Thank you so much!” Anay said, his hands shaking as he took the bag. Feeling grateful, he added, “Can I have your phone number ” Jimmy smiled shyly and gave Anay his number. Anay saved it, thinking that this young man deserved a chance.
A month later, Anay sent a message to Jimmy, asking him to take an interview. When the big day finally came, Jimmy surprisingly found that Anay was one of the interviewers, his face glowing with excitement and hope. Jimmy confidently shared his academic knowledge and work experiences, which left a deep impression on the interviewers. A week later, Anay sent Jimmy a job offer. Anay felt a profound sense of satisfaction and realized that Jimmy’s perseverance had paid off, and that a simple gesture of kindness could sometimes open an unexpected door for a person.

W: It was. I was on set every day from sunup to sundown, and I' ll never forget that late autumn and winter I spent with my team.
M: I believe your effort will certainly pay off at the box office this July. (17)
W: Thank you.

Thank you everyone for gathering at such short notice. I just wanted to get everyone to hear the news at the same time. Our colleague Ian, who has been with us for 20 years since the company was first founded by my father, has decided to retire. (18) You might have noticed that he has been absent for the last couple of weeks.Unfortunately, his mother is very ill, and Ian wishes to look after her full-time. I hope you can all forward him your wishes and support in this difficult time. I have let him know he is welcome to return to our company should he wish to do so in the future. Ian has been the driving force of our sales and marketing divisions, (19) and he is very difficult to replace, but we also respect his wish to leave immediately. In the meantime, if you have any issues, I will be overseeing Ian's responsibilities until we can find someone worthy of stepping into his shoes. If any of you wish to apply, the job requirements will be listed on our website later today. (20) Thank you.
第二部分 閱讀（共兩節，滿分50分）
第一節 (共15小題；每小題2.5分，滿分37.5分)
A
【分析】這是一篇應用文。文章主要介紹了奧蘭多環球影城度假村的一些娛樂活動情況。
A 細節理解題。根據第二段Initially, starting October 22, 2024, only vacation packages and
multi-day tickets (three days or longer) to Universal Orlando Resort will be available, which include one-day access to Epic Universe” (起初，從 2024 年 10 月 22 日起，僅提供奧蘭多環球影城度假套餐和為期三天及以上的多日門票（包括一日暢游“史詩宇宙”）的預訂服務。)可知，最早2024年10月22日能買到“史詩宇宙”的票。
D 細節理解題。根據最后一段Upon entering Epic Universe through Celestial Park, visitors will
discover a variety of attractions, including a thrilling roller coaster, gift shops, restaurants, and gateways to the four other themed areas. (游客們從天際公園進入“史詩宇宙”后，將會發現這里有許多有趣的景點，包括刺激的過山車、禮品店、餐廳，以及通往其他四個主題區域的入口。)可知，游客在Epic Universe中可以參加刺激的游樂設施。
C 推理判斷題。根據第三段 More information can be found on the official website. (更多相關信
息可在官方網站上獲取。)可知，文章選自網站。
B
【分析】本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了作者從汽車換到電動自行車后的積極體驗，強調了這種轉變不僅環保，還能帶來快樂和健康益處。
C 推理判斷題。根據第一段 Living in Colorado, I imagined the e-bike would mean enduring
freezing winters and sweltering summers(生活在科羅拉多州時，我曾以為電動自行車的使用意味著要忍受嚴寒的冬季和酷熱的夏季)可由此推知，作者原本認為放棄他的汽車是一個艱難的選擇
25．A 詞句猜測題。根據劃線詞上文I couldn’t have been more wrong. Riding my e-bike to work turned out to be not just bearable...(我真是大錯特錯了。騎著電動自行車去上班，結果發現這其實不僅是可以忍受的，甚至還...) 可知，作者覺得騎自行車上班是愉快的。
26．B 細節理解題。根據倒數第二段 For the first time, I felt deeply connected to the natural environment around me, something I had never experienced while driving in a car. This newfound appreciation for the beauty of my surroundings became one of the most delightful aspects of riding my e-bike.(這是我第一次深切地感受到自己與周圍自然環境的緊密聯系，這種感覺是在開車時所無法體會到的。對周圍環境美麗景色的這種新奇感受，成為了我騎電動自行車時最令人愉悅的體驗之一。)可知，作者最喜歡騎行的一點是欣賞沿途的美景。
27．D 推理判斷題。根據最后一段 In a country where sprawling suburbs, shopping malls, and
unprotected bike lanes are common, it’s unrealistic to expect e-bikes to replace cars entirely, just as the Model T replaced horses.(在一個到處都是廣闊郊區、購物中心以及未加防護的自行車道的國家，指望電動自行車能完全取代汽車是不現實的，就如同福特 T 型車取代了馬匹一樣。)可知，當前的城市交通情況很不利于電動自行車的發展。由此推知，城市需要一個更具包容性的交通網絡。
C
【分析】本文是一篇議論文。成年人常常驚嘆他們能很好地記著兒時學過的東西。作者認為這是
兒時過度學習的結果，是因為當我們兒時學會一樣東西的時候，我們不是就此停止，而是持續練習，才使我們記憶深刻。文章用例證法說明了“過度學習”的概念，最后作者談到了“過度學習”的好處和“突擊學習”的弊端。
D 段落大意題。第一段主要講述大人們在兒時學會的東西，即使多年不復習還是可以記得很清楚。
29．A 推理判斷題。作者在解釋超量學習法則的時候，運用了乘法口訣和考試前突擊學習的例子。
30. B 細節理解題。根據倒數第二段中They are another example of overlearning in childhood.（這是我們兒時超量學習的另一個例子。）
31．A 細節理解題。根據最后一段While cramming might allow a student to perform well on an exam, they are likely to forget most of the material soon after. （雖然臨時抱佛腳能讓學生在考試中取得好成績，但之后他們很可能很快就會忘記大部分內容。）可知，這種方式僅適用于考前。
D
【分析】本文是一篇說明文，文章通過介紹tinyML技術及其在不同領域的應用，展示了其作為一種低成本、低功耗的AI技術如何在資源匱乏的地區得到廣泛應用，并對未來的發展趨勢進行了展望。
32．C 細節理解題。根據第一段Bala Murugan, an Indian computer scientist, has created a small drone powered by AI to assist farmers in identifying diseases in their trees.This tinyML device, which operates without Internet connectivity, can accurately detect diseased leaves, reducing the need for excessive pesticide use. (巴拉·穆魯甘是一位印度計算機科學家，他研發了一款由人工智能驅動的小型無人機，旨在幫助農民識別樹木所患的疾病。這款微型機器學習設備無需聯網即可運行，能夠精準檢測病葉，從而減少過度使用農藥的需求。)
33．A 推理判斷題。根據第二段Unlike large language models, tinyML devices are modest in scope but highly effective in applications such as agriculture, healthcare, and environmental monitoring. Unlike large language models, tinyML devices are modest in scope but highly effective in applications such as agriculture, healthcare, and environmental monitoring. For example, Jo o Yamashita, an electronics engineer at UNIFEI in Brazil, uses tinyML to detect diseases in coffee plants, while Rosdiadee Nordin in Malaysia employs it to monitor river pollution. (與大型語言模型不同，微型機器學習設備的規模較小，但在農業、醫療保健和環境監測等領域應用效果顯著。例如，巴西聯合國工業研究所的電子工程師若昂·雅馬希塔利用微型機器學習技術來檢測咖啡植株的疾病，而馬來西亞的羅斯迪亞迪·諾林則將其用于監測河流污染情況。)可知，提到Jo o Yamashita和Rosdiadee Nordin是為了證明tinyML在不同領域的廣泛應用。
34．D 推理判斷題。根據第三段They can operate for weeks on low-power batteries and do not require Internet connectivity, making them ideal for remote areas (它們可以依靠低電量電池運行數周之久，并且無需網絡連接，因此非常適合用于偏遠地區。)可知，tinyML在資源匱乏的地區非常方便使用。
35．B 主旨大意題。文章通過介紹tinyML技術及其在不同領域的應用，展示了其作為一種低成本、低功耗的AI技術如何在資源匱乏的地區得到廣泛應用，并對未來的發展趨勢進行了展望。
第二節(共5小題；每小題2.5分，滿分12.5分)
本文為一篇說明文，介紹了比較對我們的壞處，所以我們應該停止將自己與其他人比較。
A 前文You may have heard the expression,(你可能聽過這個表達)表明空處為對應的表達，結合后文To me, this rings true because I have found it nearly impossible to compare myself to others and feel satisfied at the same time.(對我來說，這確實很有道理，因為我發現自己很難在與他人的比較中同時感到滿足。)”表明此處的句子應該與“比較和滿意”有關，A選項“攀比是偷走快樂的小偷”符合該主旨。
E前文Comparison not only robs us of happiness but also fuels self-criticism and a lack of self-acceptance. .(這種比較不僅會剝奪我們的快樂，還會加劇自我批評以及導致我們缺乏自我接納的心態。)可知，本段說明比較會引發自我批評，導致缺乏自我接納，空后為對應的舉例，E選項“通常，攀比會讓人感到不足或自卑”符合主旨含義。
38．G前文We often tell ourselves we are acceptable only if we meet certain standards, and we evaluate how we measure up by looking at others. The tendency is to conclude that we are not measuring up, especially if we have a low sense of self-worth.(我們常常告訴自己，只有達到某些標準我們才能被認為是合格的，并且我們會通過比較他人來評估自己的表現。這種傾向往往會讓我們得出結論：我們并未達到標準，尤其是當我們自尊心較低時更是如此。)可知，自我價值感較低會覺得達不到標準，很失敗，G選項“我們害怕別人會用我們的失敗來評判我們”為進一步想法的表達，覺得達不到標準會被別人評判，與后文We worry what others will think: “What’s wrong with them ” (我們擔心別人會怎么想:“他們怎么了？”)從別人的角度批評自己語境一致。
39．B下文This may be temporarily true, but comparison is an internal process that is ultimately based
on our thoughts and sense of self, not external circumstances. (這或許在短期內是正確的，但比較本質上是一個內在的過程，其基礎在于我們的思想和自我認知，而非外部環境。)說明了空處下一句中提到的現象的錯誤性，B選項“比較甚至會產生誤導”總領下文。
40．D前文We can always find something else to compare, another expectation we tell ourselves we are not meet.(我們總能找到別的東西來進行比較，還能找出另一個我們自認為尚未達成的期望。)表示比較是永遠存在的，后文Gradually, comparison can destroy our awareness of personal values.(漸漸地，這種比較會削弱我們對個人價值觀的認同感。)說明這樣的比較會導致錯誤的價值觀，D選項“我們總是關注他人，而忽略了那些對我們自身有意義的事情。”為對于前文原因的補充，符合語境。
第三部分 語言運用（共兩節，滿分30分）
第一節 （共15小題；每題1 分，滿分15分）
【分析】這是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了作者曾經在農村里干農活的經歷，雖然辛苦，但是作者也明白了腳踏實地才能一分耕耘一分收獲的道理。
41．B考查動詞詞義辨析。句意：根據我的經驗，所有的農活都能訓練一個人培養出斯巴達精神。根據后文“a person to develop a Spartan spirit”可知，指農活可以訓練出斯巴達精神。
42．C考查名詞詞義辨析。句意：從八歲起，我就不得不和父母和兩個哥哥一起勞動。根據上文“All farm work”可知，指和家人一起做農活，
43. C考查副詞詞義辨析。句意：在最炎熱的夏天，空氣幾乎沒有流動，我跪在稻田里，膝蓋深深地埋在泥里。根據上文“On the hottest summer days when the air”可知，天氣炎熱，空氣幾乎沒有流動。
44．C考查動詞詞義辨析。句意：水里的蟲子咬著我的皮膚，太陽曬在我拱起的背上。根據上文“The bugs and worms in the water”指蟲子會咬作者的皮膚。
45. A考查形容詞詞義辨析。句意：水里的蟲子咬著我的皮膚，太陽曬在我拱起的背上。根據上文“I knelt in a paddy field with my knees deep in mud”可知，作者是跪在田里的，所以太陽曬在拱起的背上。
46．C考查動詞詞義辨析。句意：汗水流了下來；如果一滴流進眼睛里，就會流眼淚。根據上文“Sweat streamed down; if a drop ran into the eyes”可知，汗水流進眼睛里會導致流眼淚，即產生眼淚。
47. D考查形容詞詞義辨析。句意：我告訴自己：“要有耐心！”根據后文“If my parents and brothers could go on taking it, so could I.(如果我的父母兄弟可以繼續這么干，我也可以)”可知，作者說服自己耐心勞動。
48. B考查副詞詞義辨析。句意：我慢慢地振作起來，拖著身子往前走。根據后文“I pulled myself together and dragged myself forward”指作者慢慢地振作起來，拖著身子往前走。
49. A考查動詞詞義辨析。句意：我學會了不害怕困難和“一分耕耘，一分收獲”的含義。根據上文“you reap what you”結合作者干農活，可知此處想強調“一分耕耘，一分收獲”的含義。
50. B考查名詞詞義辨析。句意：“判斷一個人不要看他的臉，要看他的田地，”我母親過去常說。根據后文“The land is”指母親說要看別人的田地來評判別人。
51. D考查形容詞詞義辨析。句意：這片土地是可靠的，只要你愿意在上面勞動。根據上文“you reap what you_”提到了“一分耕耘,一分收獲”，土地是可靠的，只要你愿意在上面勞動，就會有收獲。
52. D考查名詞詞義辨析。句意：當風吹著，水稻像海浪一樣在海里移動，令人驚嘆的美麗，一種深深的滿足感涌上我的心頭。根據后文“in the sea”指水稻像海浪一樣在海里移動。
53. A考查動詞短語辨析。句意：當風吹著，水稻像海浪一樣在海里移動，令人驚嘆的美麗，一種深深的滿足感涌上我的心頭。根據上文“a deep sense of satisfaction”指作者內心涌起了滿足感。
54. C考查動詞詞義辨析。句意：雖然后來我從事了學術研究，但我將永遠記得在稻田里工作教給我的東西：腳踏實地，永不放棄，你將得到回報。根據后文“your feet firmly on the ground”以及作者干農活的經歷，作者想強調的是腳踏實地。
55. D考查動詞詞義辨析。句意：雖然后來我從事了學術研究，但我將永遠記得在稻田里工作教給我的東西：腳踏實地，永不放棄，你將得到回報。根據上文“never give up and you will be”可知，腳踏實地勞動，只要不放棄就會有所回報。
第二節 （共10小題；每小題1.5分，滿分15分）
【語篇導讀】這是一篇說明文，文章主要講述了中國動畫電影《哪吒 2》在吸引全球觀眾的同時，展示了中國日益增長的文化自信。
with/and考查介詞。句意：這部奇幻冒險電影將傳統神話與現代敘事結合起來，對于青少年觀眾來說，它既具有教育意義又具有娛樂性。固定搭配為 “combine...with...”（把…… 與…… 結合起來）或 “combine...and...”（把…… 和…… 結合）。
making考查非謂語動詞。句意：這部奇幻冒險電影將傳統神話與現代敘事結合起來，對于青
少年觀眾來說，它既具有教育意義又具有娛樂性。句中已有謂語動詞“combines”，所以“make” 要用非謂語形式。“make”與主語“This fantasy adventure”之間是主動關系，所以用現在分詞 making作結果狀語。
central考查形容詞。句意：這部電影關于自我認同的核心主題深深觸動了年輕人。這里需要一個形容詞來修飾名詞 “theme”，“center”是名詞，意為“中心”，其形容詞形式“central” 意為 “中心的；主要的；核心的”。
44．a考查冠詞。句意：和它的前一個版本一樣，它講述了哪吒在平衡他的超自然力量和人類情感的旅程 — 這是對努力應對社會期望的青少年的一個隱喻。此處表示 “一個對于青少年努力應對社會期望的隱喻”，表泛指，且“metaphor” 是以輔音音素開頭的單詞，所以用不定冠詞 a。故填a。
45．teaches考查動詞時態。句意：通過生動的動畫和幽默的對話，這部電影在沒有聽起來過于說教的情況下，傳授了關于勇氣和友誼的寶貴經驗。句子描述的是電影《哪吒 2》的一般特征和情況，屬于客觀事實，所以應用一般現在時。主語“the movie” 是第三人稱單數，根據一般現在時中主語是第三人稱單數時，謂語動詞要用第三人稱單數形式的規則，所以謂語動詞 “teach” 要用 teaches。
46．effects考查名詞單復數。句意：改進后的 3D 效果創造出了宏大戰斗的驚險場景。“effect” 是可數名詞，意為 “效果；影響”，根據后面的謂語動詞“create” 是原形，可知主語應該是復數形式，所以這里要用 “effect” 的復數形式 effects。
47．which考查定語從句。句意：特別令人印象深刻的是對神話場景的詳細描述，比如天宮，這有助于國際觀眾理解中國傳統文化。后面“____ help international audiences understand traditional Chinese culture”是一個非限制性定語從句，先行詞是 “the detailed descriptions of mythological settings”，關系詞在從句中作主語，指物，所以用關系代詞 which。
48．to appreciate考查非謂語動詞。 句意：作為中國民族復興時代有價值的文化產品，它不僅娛樂了人們，還激勵年輕人欣賞他們的獨特之處。“inspire sb. to do sth.”是固定搭配，意為 “激勵某人做某事”。
49．recognition考查名詞。句意：隨著中國動畫繼續獲得全球認可，它們在一個長期由西方工作室主導的行業中提供了新的視角。“gain”是及物動詞，后面需要接名詞作賓語，“recognize”是動詞，意為 “認出；認可；承認”，其名詞形式 “recognition” 意為 “認可；承認”，
50．dominated考查非謂語動詞。句意：隨著中國動畫繼續獲得全球認可，它們在一個長期由西方工作室主導的行業中提供了新的視角。“industry”（行業）與 “dominate”（主導；控制）之間是被動關系，即 “行業被主導”，所以用過去分詞 dominated 作后置定語修飾 “industry”。
